To— The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla (repeated to Bunder Abbas).
Sykes’ telegram No. 39 G. (37 C.?).
If the collapse of Germans is as complete as Sykes appears to believe, it
Would he, I think, inexpedient for (?) General Dyer, who is presumably senior
to him, to go to Kerman, and in virtue of such seniority interfere with Mission
for which Sykes is so well fitted. At the same time I believe that despatch of
small force in direction of Kerman so far from being misunderstood would be
useful demonstration and might be of great importance in the event of last
attempt by Germans.
